Will Grayson tries to live a quiet, low-key life which is hard to do when your best friend is a very flamboyant, larger than life (literally),  aspiring actor, and is falling in and out of love every other week.

So when Tiny decides to make a play about his life, Will no longer has a the luxury of living under the radar, introducing him to new people and bringing him out of the sad shell he put himself in.

Other Will Grayson is in denial. He can’t confront his true self and tell his friends his secret. When Will goes to meet the person he thinks he’s in love with, things go horribly wrong. This disaster turns out to be a blessing in disguise for Will.

So on the night the two Will Graysons cross paths in Chicago, everything for them changes. New opportunities and romances bloom, friendships burn, and wounds finally heal. All this leading up to the most epic high school musical.

Authors John Green and David Levithan do an excellent job in this collaboration. Will Grayson, Will Grayson was #3 on New York Times bestsellers list for children’s books, the first book to have gay characters appear in it.

This book shows how much high school influences a person’s outlook on topics, such as the LGBTQA+ community and just your average high school crush.

The humor in this book helps tone down some of the more serious moments. It’s the type of book that almost every high school student can relate to.

Books are supposed to help the reader make a connection and make you think outside of the box and this book does exactly that.
